Chapter 7

~ Matt

After I tripped over my own feet like the idiot I am, INSANITY. First of all, I fell flat on my stomach, causing all the air to be knocked out of me. Once I caught my breath, I realized I had dropped Brianna. I also realized at least 30-50 girls were approaching me.

"OMG Matt! Are you okay?!"

"Hey! Back off! He's my future husband!"

"Here let me help you up."

"Can I wear your beanie, Matt?"

I was basically being mobbed. I know their intentions were somewhat not completely selfish, but I hate this.

"HEY! I can get up on my own okay? Thanks SOME OF YOU for trying to help!"

Wow. I've never yelled like that before. Especially at fans. I feel horrible now. I just shook my head and made my way to the backroom. Once I got there, I saw Brianna, laying on the couch with a ice pack on her head. There was a big bruise on her forehead and rug burns all over her beautiful face. There was a boy sitting beside her, stroking her hair. My eyes wandered to the mirror near me. My favorite beanie was gone, I had rug burns on my face and chest. My hair was scruffy. My eyes were watering. I was an absolute mess. I didn't care though. I was still so worried about Brianna. She still hadn't woken up.

"Who are you?"

I looked over at the guy sitting next to Brianna.

"I'm Matt."

"Tristan. Hey, can you take Brianna to the car?"

I nodded and gently lifted her. Tristan took out his phone and started dialing a number. I sat down in the limo with Brianna's head resting on my lap. During the ride, everyone was pretty much silent, except for Tristan and me. Tristan was still on the phone and I was whimpering. I suddenly felt the car stop a few minutes later.

"W-Where are we?" I asked.

"Taco Bell. Want something?" Carter said.

"No. I know Brianna will though."

"Anything in mind?"

"A chicken taco and Baja Blast?"

"Okay...you wanna stay here?"

"Mhmm.."

Carter left only Brianna and me alone in the car. I could feel her starting to move around in my lap.

"Hey...you awake?" I said.

~ Brianna

I slowly began waking up. I could see Matt's face materialize above me. He was smiling.

"Mmhmmm?" I mumbled.

I could hear his adorable laugh again. His face was stained with tears.

"You okay Matt?"

"Yea, just worried about you."

"Aww."

My head was pounding inside of my skull and my throat hurt like crazy. What happened?

"Do you think you could sit up?"

I nodded. He carefully helped me up. The guys and Mahogany came back with food. Once we got back to the hotel, I crashed onto the plushy soft bed and instantly fell asleep.
